Goodreads asked Bruce MacBain:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Bruce MacBain Three things: read, read, and read. By this I mean read actively. Constantly ask yourself, "Why does this passage work?" "Why do I care about this character?" "How is the author grabbing me, or, if not, why not?"
